Savage Fight Put Up Between

Marvelow- Strength exhibited by Mad*

Belief, According to Wltnew
of the Struggle.
"Once we niiw Ivan fight with a hear
of hlH own kIw> (lit that time)," writes
Dr. Wlliluin T. Hornnday In an article
on "The Alaskan Brown Hoar," pub
i 11. .i In Boys' Life. "Il was a fear
some sight. It ct mo about through a
mlxup of eggemates. 1 cannot reeull
why a change was made, but at nil
events the female cagemate of Admlial
?another blfc Alaskan brown bear
abiding in the adjoining cage?was
temporarily shifted from him luto
Ivan's den.
"Adiulrar felt that that was not a
square deal and It made him furious.
At once he net to work to tear his
way through the steel partition and
get into Ivan's cage. I reached the
scene while he was In the very act of
finishing the Job. ,
"The partition was made of flat
steel bars, woven closely together In
u basket pattern, and set Into heavy
steel frames that were bolted Into
place. The ends of the flat bars were
fastened by bending them over while
hot; and everybody was quite sure
that those panels were strong enough
to hold elephnnts.
"Admiral went to work with his
great strength and his enormous claws
to pull one of those woven bar panels
out of Its frame, and thus mnke a nolo
In the partition that would let him
through. It seeing Impossible, but he
did it! He did what a steam roller
could not have done. I saw him finish
tearing, that steel basket out of its
frame, smash it down and rush .over It
through the opening and into the next
den.
.. "And then in an Instant Admiral and
Ivan wore in combat.
"At Ann time those two bears were
*of tsame size and weight,- and even
ly matched. They tought strictly head
t*? head and mouth to mouth. Xot
once did*either of the lighters swerve
by ;i foot and expose his-body to at
tack*., Hound and round they raged
ami tlie female grizzly shrank off in a
corner, terrified. I'resflPltly, the two
-lighters reared on their hind legs, each
holding the other, by a cheek, and In
sileixje they waltzed and chewed.
"And then the keepers had their
chance. Carrying their arms full of
hickory pick handles.'each one weigh
ing about live pounds, they slipped in
at the front gate and took positions.
They yelled at those bears as if they
meant to tear them to pieces, and they
slammed those pick handles into them
until they won. The hickory hurri
cane was too much to endure and the
bears let go and fell apart. ' Then all
attention?and pick handles?was con
centrated on Admiral, who soon re
tired through the hole he had made
Info his own den, and the fight .was
over."
Marines Get Practice.
Ton million rounds of ammunition
were fired by United States marines
on rifle ranges In the last 11 months,
according to the report of the Inspec
tor of rifle practice, given out at marine
eorps headquarters In Washington.
This Is the answer to the ques
tion: Why are marines always crack
shots? which has been nskqd over and
over again by their opponents at re
cent military rifle matches, when they
saw the "sea soldiers" walk away with
most of the trophies.
Nineteen thousand of the 21.000 men
who fired qualified as marksmen or bet
ter. In 1019 marines fired on ranges
in ten foreign countries and posses
sions. as follows: Ireland. Siberia,
China. France, Germany, Cuba. Santo
Domingo. Haiti, the Azores and Nica
ragua. and In 10 states, territories and
possessions of our own country.
Army Physique.
A careful study revealed a gain dur
ing three and one-half months at the
camps, among national a,rmy recruits
of 0.4 pounds apiece?almost entirely
In muscular tissue; and 23 per cent
Increase In chest expansion. A similar
Investigation In the navy showed al
most the same average increase, Indi
vidual gains running up to 33
pounds Individual beneficial losses
reaching 23 pounds ? and the aver
age very inadequately recording
Mthe enormous benefit the .
life . . . has done these men phys
ically." In fact, the driven chief of
tho medical department, hampered by i
the lack of statistical clerks (who cost I
51,000 to $1,800 a year!) remarked j
forcefully that the Improvement In i
physique was so evident that detnlls j
are as needless "as to demonstrate j
mathematically tTial peas grow fiii

An orphan for 18 years, he had
been as a willow wand in the ha ml

he left college bo had been set at
helping his uncle in his extensive prop
erty Interests. For eight years, tied
down to an utterly uncongenial em

that there were some papers to m;i' ?? !

and their father died leaving them a i
mere pittance. Wanda, the elder, bed
taken up the duties of a school teach
er. Caroline had become a sten<?ir
rapher. Alice, barely seventeen when
Wardley had last seen her. was giv
ing music lessons. Their combined
thrlftlness had enabled thein to nay
off the encumbrance on the old home.
Wardley could not but admire th;?
culmination. He had always liked and
respected them, and he smiled faintly
as he recalled that wlu;n a young men
of twenty-one he hnd seriously
thought of keeping company with Car
oline. Ills uncle had. however, sup
pressed that vain dream.
Alice Wayne was seated on a bench
In the lovely garden from which the
place took its2 name as Wardley en
tered at the gate. He was surprised
to view the shy, retiring girl grown

a soothing sense of novelty and rest
crept over Wardley as he sat down
and led a casual conversation. She
told bow she had arranged with her
married sisters to take title to the
property, and Wardley drew from his ^
pocket the papers he had prepared at
his offloo and placed them on the little
stand that held a work basket;
"There Is only your name to In
sert In the deed, and record It. and
you are the mistress of the loveliest
iittle home in I'axton." he spoke. "1
declare! 1 have left my eyeglasses at
home. I have grown foolish enough
to depend on them in reading and
writing."
"There Is a pair here," said Alice,
groping In her basket. "I fear they
are of little use. however. They are
pink. Here they are. Sister Caroline
wore these for a time to rest her eyes.
Once in a while when I sit here dream
ing, I put them on. They make every
thing so beautifully rose colored. I
fancy I ara In some enchanted fairy
land."
"They do quite well, for they mag
nify somewhat," said Wardley, as he
filled In the deed with his fountain
pen and, looking up. sat so still and
mute that a sudden spell seemed to
have come over hlin.
The magic of rare beauty was irra
diated by the gentle glow of the col
ored glasses.
"I hope you will guide and direct
once In n while In a business way."
observed Alice.
"With pleasure." answered Ward
ley. He left the place in a pleasing
dream. al?o tnklng the pair of pink
glasses, and whenever he felt de

thought of Alice.
Many an excuse he made to direct
her as to the care of her property.
